Got it! haha! When you go to bake, you open a file (a logo, for example) instead of clicking on transparency. Worth all the work now Thank you .

I would give you a donation, however I cannot seem to make this work using Blender 2.49. The Bake sculpt meshes script box does not give me the option to show Alpha. My black and white logo do not show thru after clicking the Draw with Alpha Button and I understand there’s a difference between versions. Would you be willing to modify the text portion of this tutorial for 2.49? Thanks.

Hello Gaia.

First of all I’d like to thank you for all your hard work with video tutorials. I’ve just dowloaded JASS 2 and playing with it. It’s great piece of work and I am considering upgrade to Premium Edition.

Anyway i found a problem with transparencies. I have been trying to complete this tutorial, but it does not work for me as expected. Protecting sculpties with external image makes them baked semi-transparent with vertical opaque stripes. In other words masking picture appears on the list in the image editor but seems to be ignored or processed wrong way.

I use 64×64 grayscale png file and I connect it in the “Bake Sculpt Meshes” window (“Alpha” section, fourth option).

Does it work in this wersion or I do something wrong?

Regards
Foxx

Hi Gaiai firstly many thank for a great set of video tutorials ,they’ve opened a whole new exciting world up,now to my problems lol,i cannot link to the blip tv video’s the links are broken …secndly i am using your latest version with primstar,the problem i have is i create a sculpty …then texture it.. when i save the targa file it makes any transparent parts white even when ive clicked the draw with alpha,so i loaded the finished texture into corel paint shop pro erased the white parts so they were transparent then saved it as a .png file ,when loaded into sl it makes the whole side im facing transparent ,almost as if it inside out ,i tried the inside out button of the sculpty map makes no difference.i load the original .tga texture and its fine except what should be transparent is white.hopefully you can help …once again many thanks to you and to Domino for giving everyone an easy way to create sculpty’s.I can send you a snapshot of the two sculpty’s side by side if you wish so you can see the problem.best wishes Joe

We have created a derivative of the domino scripts named JASS. This includes an improved GUI. I have been working with Domino to also incorporate the new GUI (and even a better version) also into the Domino scripts. That will become available with Domino’s upcoming “primstar” distribution.

Why your menu for pick a sculpt mesh look different?

Please look at the very first chapter of this post. There i wrote, that the secnd part of the tutorial only applies to the JASS-scripts. This feature is not yet available in the original Domino Design scripts, hence you can not find it there. If you are interested in using it, please download the JASS-distribution.

Have Fun

hello, just a question about the version of Blender. I am on version 2.49 and the buttons and rendering items you are selecting are not working for me. When I hit bake second life sculptie, i get the simple box with fill holes etc. just the 3 choices. Where do i change the settings to allow the other options or is it just a simpler process in the updated version? Loved your tutorial and your descriptions were wonderful, just wish it worked for this version as easily as it did on the earlier version. any help would be appreciated!

I fixed that again.
Background: We have recreated the video this night with a better understandable voice
unfortunately blip.tv removes the old video as soon as the new video has been imported.
And so the link to the high resolution version gets invalidated. The link to the
flash version however remains constant… I will report that to blip.tv Maybe they
can do something here…
